I am trying to get my samba setup running (after putting it on the back burner for a few months with other issues). I am running Samba 3.0.0 on a SuSE 7.2 install. I have a linux box (clyde) and a Win2K box (Badmonkey) connected via a firewall/network. My smb.conf file is shown here: -- # Sambxa config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/12/04 05:28:37 # Global

I posted this query a couple of days ago and received no responses. SInce that time, some other info has come to light that I thought would be useful to helping to solve this porblem. My network consists of a firewall machine networked with a SuSE 7.2 workstation and a Windows 2000 workstation. My smb.conf file is below: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date:

I have my network printer configured under Samba. When I logon to W2K, I can see the printer, but I am unable to open the printer to spool files. I get the message that I must install the pritner driver in order for it to work. ANy suggestions? Joe -- #----------------------------------------------------------# # "Don't fear the penguin!" #

I have a small LAN: SuSE 7.2 with Samba 3.0 and a W2K box. What I can do: I can create shares from the W2K box that make files from the Linux box visible. I can also manually mount (using % smbmount ... ) from the command line as root. Here is where I run into problems. The only way I can mount a partition via smbmount is if I use the username=user%passwd option. If I attempt to setup a .smbpw

Which printing mnechansim works best with Samba? CUPS or BSD? I suspect that BSD support in Samba is not the greatest.

When I attmept to mount a PC (W2K) share via my fstab, I get the following error message on the mount: "Unknown parameter encountered 'file'" Truth be told , samba is becoming more and more frustrating. The only thing I have been able to successfully do is to make visible my NFS mount point across my file server to my W2K machine. I am running SuSE 9.1, Samba 3.02a Enclosed is

I have samba running on RH 9 as a PDC. I want to print from teh windows box to the Linux machine... excerpt from smb.conf: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/cups/ browseable = yes public = yes printable = yes writeable = yes excerpt from printcap:

Hi, can I map LPT1: to a command e.g. "|lpr" How can I use this? From my applications I only see the printers from my CUPS. How can I use a pritner like LPT1: now I'm using Wine 1.1.9 Regards, Shanku

First allow me to issue this disclaimer... The following problem is most likely due to my own ignorance. Now on to the problem... I'm setting up some printer shares that allow automatic driver installation to Win 9x clients [printer$]. When we try to use these, the drivers install beautifully, but we get the following error message when we try to print: "There was an error writing to

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have done this before, but for the life of me cannot get it to work today. I am trying to setup SAMBA to allow non-technical users (one per site) to add printer drivers as needed. I am running Samba 3.0.24. Following are the relevant entries from smb.conf. # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name pid directory = /var/run/ workgroup = BACKUPS

While trying to configure my *nix box to print to windows, I discovered my samba build does not have the smbprint utility. I saw no option in the configure/make script to build with the smprint utility. Is there an option that will build this tool? Thanks!

I have installed a samba share for an Epson FX-85 printer.

Hi all, I set up a samba server as PDC and counfigured one local printer connected to the samba server's parallel port and another jetdirect pritner with ip 192.168.0.10:9100 using the CUPS WEB INERFACE. Both were working fine and I could print from windwos clients also. Samba server was configured on a test system. So saturday evening I shutdown the system and today when I started the

Hi all, I have installed samba server and pritners. Instead having to put drivers to all clients, I decided to use the print$ share, so that, as I read, I can also make use of printing accounting. I did all the requird steps to install the pritner on my FC4 system, put all the required driver files to the print$ share, added the driver files to samba (npcclient adddriver) , verified samba can

Hi, Just a quick word on this since I was fortunate enough to attend. There were about 18 people, almost all French (if you include the marseillais as French, they may have objections :) Not that I was counting, but there was one female human there. Thanks Mark for your generosity and the good choice in restaurants both this year and last June was it? The souffl? au Grand Marnier was very nice,

Since we updated to 3.0.6 we are having an oddity that the server IP appears in printer UNCs rather than the IP address. For instance printer \\barbel\grdps appears in the printer status box as "192.168.1.9 on grdps". It still works, but this is both odd and unsightly. DNS forward and reverse is working. It does this on both our 3.0.6 servers. On adding \\sardine\pdfconv print

Hi, In the wine config file there is a spooler section where I can map LPT1: to a command e.g. "|lpr" How can I use this? From my applications I only see the printers from my CUPS. How can I use a pritner like LPT1: Regards, Abdul-Wahid

I have two linux machines and a W2K box. I am going to upgrade the linux boxes SuSE 9.2 this coming weekend. The one box (WS 1) will be acting as a distrubuted 'server' for files/applications and a impact printer. The other linux box (WS2) will be my primary workstation. The W2K box will be used by other memebers of the family. I want to use WS1 as a Samba server and be able to share

Gotta love these people that appreciate all the effort the developers put in when clearly they are click and grunt experts who can't be bothered reading a manual. We got samba going and migrated a test bunch towards it printing on about 60 printers. HP drivers work a treat when it came to setting our A4 size paper but some printer drivers like Panasonic and Epson have crappy setup.exe
